I have not taken anything in over a week and before that only for headaches b/c my body feels so much better.

Congratulations, you are doing great!! I'm glad you mentioned the

Ibuprofin. I take 800mg pills usually a couple of times a day for

pain and headaches. I've been worried about taking it after I get

banded on 1/19/07 due to the size of the pill, maybe I won't have to

worry about that!! I love that you have more energy, I can't wait to

get there!!! Congrats again and keep up the good work.

I used to take the same 800mg pills for headaches. They were the only pills that

used to work. Now I am good with 2, only 2 tylenol!!! For me that is amazing. My

headaches also decreased after surgery. I used to get them everyother day. They

sometimes lasted for days. Now I get them maybe 2 -3 times a month. Best of Luck

I *just* walked in the door from Walgreens. Restocked my chewable

Tylenol (have liquid... ick), chewable GasX, and Sudafed strips. As

I was paying for the stuff the clerk mentioned that she hoped my

child felt better soon. Heh.... I just said thx.

Now I feel like a child that can't swallow big person tablets yet!

LOL~
